Silent Battles: Mental Health & Military Service
Mental illness is the leading cause of hospitalization for America’s military service members. Anxiety conditions and post-traumatic stress disorders lead the list of diagnoses.
This special explores the mental health needs of people serving in the military, and of veterans. We hear about how combat and non-combat military duty can impact mental health. And we explore the unique resources and support available to service members and veterans.
